INTRODUCTION. 


On  September  24,  1919,  the  Superintendent  of  Schools, 
Frank  V.  Thompson,  addressed  a  communication  to 
superintendents  of  certain  cities  of  the  United  States 
asking  (a)  that  each  superintendent  verify  certain 
information  on  salaries  as  they  existed  in  1917;  such 
information  was  sent  him  in  tabulated  form;  (6)  that 
he  furnish  corresponding  information  for  his  city  of 
September,  1919;  (c)  that  he  indicate  what  salary 
changes  were  contemplated  to  take  effect  on,  or  after 
January,  1920;  (d)  that  he  indicate  how  many  increases 
had  been  put  into  effect  since  1917,  what  state  legisla- 
tion had  been  passed  affecting  salaries,  and  the  tax  rate 
for  all  municipal  and  school  purposes. 

On  October  2,  1919,  a  similar  communication  was 
sent  to  superintendents  in  Massachusetts. 

Requests  were  sent  to  superintendents  in  the  following 
cities  in  the  United  States  of  200,000  population  or  over. 
The  cross  (X)  following  the  name  of  the  city  indicates

EXPLANATION  OF  TERMS. 

In  the  elementary  school  four  ranks  of  teachers  only, 
kindergartner,  assistant,  rank  next  to  principal,  and 
principal,  were  considered;  and  in  the  high  school  three 
ranks,  assistant,  rank  next  to  principal,  and  principal. 

The  assistant  is  always  the  regular  teacher,  without 
executive  or  administrative  duties. 

The  rank  next  to  principal  includes  the  teacher  who. 
in  addition  to  his  teaching,  has  some  executive  or  admin- 
istrative duties.  He  or  she  is  variously  called  submaster, 
master 's  assistant,  assistant  principal,  head  assistant, 
supervising  assistant,  vice  principal,  and  in  high  school 
may  be  head  of  a  department. 

The  principal  includes  the  person  wjio  is  directly  in 
charge  of  the  administrative  and  executive  work  of  the 
school.  He  or  she  may  or  may  not  do  some  teaching. 

EXPLANATION  OF  TABLES. 

The  salaries  of  each  of  the  foregoing  ranks  of  teachers 
are  tabulated  in  five  different  tables.  (1)  A  basic 


SALARIES  OF   PUBLIC   SCHOOL   TEACHERS.  9 

table  giving  the  minimum,  annual  increase  and  maxi- 
mum. (2)  A  table  showing  the  minimum  salaries 
only.  (3)  A  table  showing  the  maximum  salaries  only. 
(4)  A  table  showing  the  increases  in  the  minimum  of 
the  'salary  of  September,  1919,  over  the  salary  of 
September,  1917.  (5)  A  table  showing  the  increase 
in  the  maximum  of  the  salary  of  September,  1919, 
over  September,  1917. 

In  those  tables  giving  minimum,  annual  increase, 
and  maximum  salaries  when  the  annual  increase  is  not 
regular,  the  amount  of  increase  is  given  together  with 
the  number  of  years  in  which  such  increase  is  given. 
Where  it  is  not  possible  to  determine  the  number  of 
years,  the  lowest  and  highest  increase  is  given. 

In  tables  where  the  salary  of  men  and  women  are 
both  indicated  the  word  "same"  is  used  to  indicate 
equal  pay  for  both  sexes.  Where  the  schedule  gave 
no  information  concerning  sex  the  same  salary  for  women 
is  indicated  as  for  men.  The  words  "no  data"  are  used 
to  indicate  that  nothing  is  said  in  regard  to  the  salary 
in  question.  If  the  returns  gave  no  data  for  the  rank 
such  city  is  left  out  of  the  table. 

Tables  11  to  15,  26  to  30,  46  to  50,  and  61  to  65  deal 
with  the  rank  next  to  principal.  These  tables  are  some- 
what unsatisfactory,  because,  first,  the  name  of  this  rank 
varies  greatly  in  different  cities;  and,  second,  such  a 
rank  does  not  exist  in  some  cities. 

In  Tables  7,  8,  42,  and  43  the  words  in  parentheses 
"seven  years,"  "four  years/'  etc.,  indicate  the  number 
of  years  necessary  to  reach  the  maximum  salary. 

In  all  summaries  showing  minimum  salaries  the 
highest  minimum  is  determined  by  taking  the  largest 
amount  paid  as  an  initial  salary.  The  lowest  minimum 
is  the  lowest  amount  paid  as  an  initial  salary.  The 
"average"  is  found  by  adding  all  the  salaries  given  in 
the  table  and  dividing  by  the  total  number  of  salaries 
recorded. 

In  all  summaries  showing  the  highest  maximum,  the 
largest  maximum  paid  in  any  city  is  taken. 


10  SCHOOL  DOCUMENT  NO.  19. 

EXPLANATION  OF  COMPARISONS  OF  BOSTON. 

At  the  close  of  all  tables  of  minimum  or  maximum 
salaries,  and  all  tables  showing  increases,  a  statement 
shows  the  relative  position  of  Boston  in  relation  to  the 
cities  from  which  returns  were  received.  Such  rankings 
are  made  as  far  as  possible  with  conditions  which  are 
similar  to  those  that  exist  in  Boston. 

In  tables  of  kindergarten  teachers  the  comparison  of 
Boston  is  always  made  on  the  basis  of  the  one  session 
or  half  day  schedule.  In  Tables  2,  3,  37,  and  38,  kinder- 
garten teachers,  Boston's  rank  for  first  assistant  is 
determined  by  comparison  with  the  higher  paid  kinder- 
gartner  when  two  grades  are  given.  When  only  one 
salary  is  given  it  is  considered  as  applying  to  both  grades. 

Whenever  Boston's  rank  is  indicated  as  "  third  or 
fourth"  it  means  that  some  other  city  pays  the  same 
salary  as  is  being  paid  in  Boston. 

PROPOSED  INCREASES  TO  TAKE  EFFECT  AFTER 

JANUARY,  1920.  * 

Only  five  cities  (Buffalo,  Indianapolis,  Milwaukee, 
New  York,  and  Portland,  Ore.)  indicated  that  changes 
in  the  salary  schedule  have  already  been  made  to  take 
effect  in  January,  1920.  These  changes  are  indicated 
in  footnotes  attached  to  Tables  1,  6,  11,  16,  21,  26, 
31,  and  36.
